Meet Jessica Shunta — The Money Therapist™

Financial Stewardship & Pastoral Protection Strategist

I help Pastors, First Ladies, church administrators, and mission-driven leaders protect the pastor, secure the ministry, and ensure the vision continues with honor.

My work focuses on establishing a Pastoral Protection Policy™ and a continuity structure that provides stability to both the First Lady and the congregation when leadership transitions.

The Calling

My stewardship journey began in the church.

At 18 years old, I became the youngest financial secretary in my congregation's history — entrusted with oversight of the ministry's finances, reporting, audit preparation, and confidential financial handling.

This was not just an assignment — it was a calling into stewardship, honor, and accountability.

Professional Financial Leadership

Over the last 23 years, I have served in:

  • Banking & Consumer Lending Leadership

  • Branch Operations & Compliance Oversight

  • Auditing & Financial Accountability Processes

  • Supervising Financial Teams & Payroll Administration

  • Supporting Mission-Driven Organizations Through Growth & Transition

I understand how to build financial order, secure stability, and protect households and institutions facing leadership change.

Why Pastoral Protection Matters

When a Pastor transitions unexpectedly:

  • The First Lady and family are often left unprotected

  • The church may lose direction, stability, and unity

  • The ministry can become financially vulnerable during transition

A Pastoral Protection Policy™ ensures:

  • The Pastor's household is supported through church-approved salary continuation

  • The church remains financially stable

  • Leadership transition happens with clarity and dignity

  • The congregation does not experience turmoil in a moment of grief

This is not sales. This is stewardship. It is securing the ministry before crisis — not during it.

Core Beliefs

Leadership must be supported, not left vulnerable.

Ministries must not collapse when leadership changes.

The First Lady should never be left unprotected.

Financial stewardship is a spiritual responsibility.

Your Next Step

If you are responsible for the ministry's future, the time to prepare is before the
transition — not after.
